I wouldn’t worry too heavily about APUSH and AP Lang, mainly because those are pretty much the “standard” sophomore or junior year APs people take. Ik at my school (US), most kids who take honors English and honors history in 10th grade by natural progression take APUSH and AP Lang. I think by self studying for all the others, you’re showing that you’re a dedicated, strong, and smart applicant.
Also, Yale (and all US Colleges, but idk about international schools) will see a profile of your school, and see that you chose to self study for all these APs. This will look much better for you, because they see initiative, whereas in my school over half the 11th graders take APUSH and AP Lang, so when they see that in my school profile, it would look weird if I didn’t take them, for example.
If you’re self studying for that many APs, Yale’s gonna like that. I wouldn’t worry about APUSH and AP Lang. Good luck!
